Why Genshin Impact's 37 Spiral Abyss Update is Causing Major Player Backlash

Many Genshin Impact players are expressing their dissatisfaction with the recent version 3.7 update to the Spiral Abyss domain. Known for its difficulty, this content requires players to battle through multiple waves of high-level enemies, with the enemy lineup changing every few weeks and offering different rewards upon each reset. Consequently, players must continually adapt their team composition to exploit the weaknesses of their foes. Completing each floor within a set time frame can result in acquiring valuable ascension materials and Primogems, which are crucial for obtaining new characters.

Genshin Impact players have been voicing their frustration with the new Spiral Abyss 3.7 reset, citing it as having some of the toughest enemies in the game. As players progress through each floor, the difficulty level increases, with Floor 12 being particularly challenging due to the presence of powerful enemies. A discussion on Reddit by user The_Omegastorm has garnered over 2k upvotes, with many players expressing their dissatisfaction with the current Spiral Abyss, which may be the hardest ever featured in the game. Even players with fully maxed-out characters are struggling to achieve all three stars on certain floors.

Some players suggest using a multiple-attempt strategy and adjusting team composition for each chamber to successfully complete each floor. However, many fans are concerned that if HoYoverse continues to increase the difficulty of the Spiral Abyss, it could negatively impact the gaming experience for new players. Furthermore, the Spiral Abyss is considered to be the only piece of end-game content available, making it a crucial aspect of the game for many players.

Players have been sharing their frustrations with fighting multiple Abyss Heralds at once, as shown in a video shared by Redditor volkn369. The video depicts the player constantly being frozen and launched into the air, ultimately dying from fall damage. Others have reported having similar experiences in this chamber. One of the biggest challenges when fighting these enemies is their Cryo shields, which require significant damage before affecting their HP. This can prove to be particularly challenging for players without a strong Pyro applicator on their team.

Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
